House to Vote on Budget Resolution, Setting the Stage for Tax and Medicaid Legislation

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

The House plans to vote on its fiscal year 2018 Budget Resolution on Wednesday, October 4.

Please review the summary of the House Budget Resolution, which includes plans to “reform” Medicaid, cut spending, and enact tax reform.

Passage of the House resolution (H.Con.Res.71) would set up a conference with the Senate on its budget blueprint. The House and Senate could quickly adopt a joint budget resolution to pave the way for legislation that can be passed by a simple majority (51) vote in the Senate.

Please contact your representatives today and tell them you OPPOSE the House Budget Resolution.
